According to the Manga Plus official website, Kaiju No.8 Chapter 120 is the next in the manga and is set to release on Thursday, January 02, 2025. Kaiju No.8 Chapter 120 opens where Chapter 119 left off, with Kafka Hibino finally coming to his senses, landing a solid blow to the Meireki Era Mega Monster (Meireki for short) to its side rib. It may seriously hurt and put the monster in an uncomfortable situation where Meireki may have to rethink.
Fans following Kaiju No.8 will understand the current situation in which humanity is and how Kafka Hibino’s comeback increases the rate of human-race survivors. There’s no way of telling what will happen next in the series, with no verified spoilers. Thankfully, we know the exact release date to which the issue is available for fans to read.
The upcoming issue of Kaiju No.8 likely continues the ongoing battle between the Meireki Era Mega Monster and the Defense Force, where the protagonist left all the talking behind and went straight for the actual business. Kafka Hibino lost himself in the battle in Chapter 113 when Meireki destroyed his Core. However, his heart transforms into a new Kaiju core, but in the process, Kafka loses his human form.
Further, Chapter 118 of Kaiju No.8 reveals Gen Narumi’s true strength and how he was ready to get sacrificed for the sake of humanity. He is one of the most talked-about characters in the series whose personality and actions are celebrated by fans.
Despite attacking with all their might, General Narumi and Soshiro Hoshina failed to do any damage. And that’s when Kaiju No. 8 appeared as a hope for survivors.

Kaiju No.8 Chapter 120: Release Date & Time
Kaij No.8 is the series’ most talked-about issue and would see Kafka Hibino (Kaiju No.8) in action after getting a new Kaiju core. His heart transforms into a new Kaiju core after being destroyed by the Meireki Era Mega Monster in Chapter 113. This incident was crucial for the series’ development as Kafka understands the origins of Flying Larva, a parasite he devoured in Chapter 1. Further, his destroyed Kaiju core is fixed in Chapter 118. However, he cannot turn back to humans. And this is what he had to give up to transform back into a Kaiju.
Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 120 likely highlights the protagonist’s comeback in a wholesome way, and he directly heads to the business, saving the world. While comforting the Meireki monster in the upcoming issue, Kafka likely uses his every bit of strength left to defeat it. There’s a possibility that Kafka would end the fellow Kaiju’s life in Chapter 120, with him being in his prime form.
There’s no way of telling what will happen next in the series, with no verified spoilers on the internet. And now, with only a few days left before the official release of Kaiju No. 8, the internet is filling with fan theories.
According to a popular theory, Kafka would have a small conversation with Gen Narumi. He made fun of his former inability to defeat the monster. Thanks to his flashback, he now understands the Meirekiand and how to defeat the monster. Further, we can expect Soshiro Hoshina and Mina Ashiro in action. They likely provide support for Kafka’s battle with Meireki.

Gen Narumi & Soshiro Hoshina Vs. Meireki Monster
Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 119 highlighted Kafka Hibino’s return to his kaiju form. Not only did he save a comrade from getting killed, but also landed a solid blow on the Meireki monster. Fans have been waiting for this moment quite a while back when Meireki destroyed Kafka’s vital organ, and we believed it was time for a protagonist powerup. That’s the same happened in Kaiju No.8 Chapter 119 conclusion, Kafka returned in his Kaiju form and landed a blow to Meireki, the same monster with which he had previously difficulty keeping up.
Though Kafka’s return in Kaiju No.8 Chapter 119 was the most hyped moment in the entire issue, there’s another that deserves the same spotlight as Kafka’s return. We are talking about Gen Narumi & Soshiro Hoshina vs. Meireki. They fought by putting everything on the line to keep the hope alive, and they succeeded as Kafka returned from death.
Soshiro Hoshina pointed out that Narumi Weapon No. 1 is the only way of defeating the monster. Unfortunately, the two got overheated status and had to hold the fight. But Narumi decided to keep Weapon No. 1 even if it meant sacrificing himself. He happily let himself be sacrificed just like Isao Shinomiya for the future generation. Chapter 119 of Kaiju No.8 ends with Narumi seemingly mortally wounded by Meireki shortly thereafter.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 119: Recap & Summary
Kaiju No.8 Chapter 119 opens where Chapter 118 left off, with the oni-mask warrior growing concerned if Kafka Hibino can bear the weight of 400 years-long grudge against Meireki Era Mega Monster. However, Kafka happily said he’d shoulder their burden as the focus shifted to reality.
Here, Mina Ashiro thought Kafka’s body moved, but he still had no vital. However, she was confident that he was alive and fighting due to him still being in Kaiju.
We got a flashback when Kafka fought Isao Shinomiya in his Kaiju form. Fans following Kaiju No.8 will understand the importance of the fight in the series development. Here, we learn after Kafka lost consciousness, he turned into his human form. But this time, even after his core was destroyed, Kafka remained in his monster form, which showed that the protagonist was alive.
It’s unnatural to stay transformed for such a long time. — Mina Ashiro
The scene shifted to Soshiro Hoshina and Gen Narumi fighting Meireki, with each of them immediately reaching the overheat status. However, this doesn’t stop them as they keep attacking the monster and collecting the required data for further fight.
Soshiro Hoshina mused how difficult it is to dodge Meireki’s attacks, pointing out that Gen Narumi Weapon No. 1 is the only hope to fight the monster.
Narumi mused how difficult it is to adjust to the multiple futures unfolding before him. At first, he thought his ability wasn’t working on the monster properly. However, Narumi later realized that his ability wasn’t working due to the monsters inside the Meireki.
Hoshina and Narumi then rushed to Meireki together but overheated shortly thereafter. However, Narumi still decides to use Weapon No.1, even if it means sacrificing himself here. He decided to sacrifice himself, just like Isao Shinomiy, for the future generation. However, Narumi was seemingly mortally wounded by Meireki shortly thereafter. Kaiju No.8 Chapter 119 ends with Kafka making his comeback by punching the side of the belly of Meireki and saving Narumi.
Kaiju No.8 Chapter 120: What To Expect?
Kaij No.8 Chapter 120 is the next in the manga and continues the fierce battle between the Meireki and Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. The upcoming Chapter of Kaiju No.8 also highlights the grand return of Kafka Hibino, and he will take the fight from here on. In simple words, fans can no longer see Soshiro Hoshina and Gen Narumi in action for a while.
Both are badly injured. And let’s not forget that if it wasn’t for Kafka, they would have been killed by the Mayreki monster. Therefore, it is time for fans to appreciate them for whatever they did to keep the hope alive and move on to Kafka. After all, he is the protagonist and has to do some heavy lifting to save humanity from Meireki. However, we do not know how Kafka will pull out his victory over Meireki.
Fans who have been following Kaiju No. 8 are well aware that Meireki has existed in the world for centuries, and even the old folks were unable to defeat him, so how will Kafka be able to do so? There are no verified spoilers on the internet of Chapter 120 of Kaiju No.8. So fans have to believe in the theories.
According to a popular theory, Kafka would use all the collective knowledge about the Meireki from old folks against it. They probably know its weakness, and Kafka likely attacks it. There’s a possibility of Mina Ashiro assisting in defeating the monster.
Chapter 120 of Kaiju No.8 is the next in the manga and will bring a fierce fight between two monsters.
Kafka Return In Chapter 119 of Kaiju No.8: What It Mean For The Story?
Chapter 119 of Kaiju No.8 highlights the return of Kafka Hibino to the battlefield with his monster. He is one of the most talked-about characters in the series whose core gets destroyed by Meireki in Chapter 113. However, he did not entirely die as some fans think: Kafka went to the flashback when the Meireki monster used to dominate the world. Many soldiers, innocent people, and kids lost their lives to Meireki. Before the Meireki continues its damage to the world, Flying Larva appears from nowhere and saves humanity (not confirmed).
The same monster Kafka Hibino devoured in Chapter 1 of Kaiju No.8. Things start getting in the favour of Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force as the protagonist understands the Flying Larva origin and likely knows how to defeat the Meireki. Kafka’s return in Chapter 119 of Kaiju No.8 also awakens the hope of survival. There’s no way of telling what will happen next in the series, but fans can expect the upcoming will be an action pack.
Kafka will go toe-to-toe with Meireki in the upcoming issue with the humanity survivor on the line.
